that was exempt before allotment,
while by the same means thousands OF
acres of land, previously exempt, are
thrown open to settlement and taxation.
Some method must be devised for meeting
the cost of public works and il would not
be difficult to find q method. Another
difficulty, found to exist in Nebraska since
the Omaha reservation was allotted, is that
of allowing the Indians TO vote. This dit
iculty will be met by the liberal, common
sense of the people, as it has been in the
case of the negro.

INDIAN CIVILIZATION.

Discussing the Work Done and to be
Done in that Direction.
LAKE MoHoNK, N. Y, September 29.-At
to DAVIS conference of the Friends OF the
Indians q resolution was reported by DR..
Lyman ABBOTT to the effect that, hereafter,
the Indian bureau ought to be considered
as merely temporary; that the Indians
should at once be made subject to the laws
and protected in the rights of citizenship.
Bishop Huntingdon made rather
gloomy report as to the barbarous condi-
the eight reservations in the State of New
York. He advocated the abolition OF the
reservations and of the treaties. This was
followed by a discussion on the recent or
der OF the Indian bureau prohibiting the
use of the Indian language in reservation
schools. The general opinion was that it
was impracticable and Injurious; that it
would greatly retsrd the outstanding OF
the Indians, especially the adults and
teaching to explain the meaning OF Eng
lish words.

ed to interfere with the missionary work
among the adults, but only to apply TO
the teaching of the Indian youth in the
schools. This was absolutely necessary
for The efficient work OF the schools and
would be strictly enforced. This xplana-
ton was not accepted by the conference.as
satisfactory, because it takes away all
chance of bringing up native preachers
who can preach in the native tongue and
deprives the missionaries of one OF the
most powerful aids to evangelizatiOn.
This talk was followed by addresses by
Representatives of associations, including
Mrs. o. ]. Haines, of Milwaukee, and Mrs.
Owen, of Michigan, The work OF the de.
partment for providing civilized homes for
young Indian couples was commended as
doing excellent work.
The next question was: AFTER the
Dawes bill, what2' President Magill, of
Swarthmore College, answered: Chris
tianization." Senator Dawes pointed out
some of the difficulties to be overcome.
One of these was the non-taxability of
lands allotted In severalty and state,
therefore, as shown in the case of Nebraska,
will not willingly accept Jurisdiction over
them becsuse they cannot be taxed. In
regard 10 this the Senator said that moth.

The City BOYS Letter.

One of the leading insurance men, says
the Hartford Courant, sent his boy into
the country this summer, and among other
provisions for his enjoyment gave him q
woodchuck trap. When the boy started

self, and to be sure to go to church on Sun
day. The following is the first letter re-
ceived:

While salt will readily dissolve at fifty

free from the surplus water, and it is by
this needless water that much injury Is
done to butter Fifty-five degrees would

Now, we ask you plain question, has
the land averaged you IN the last five years
twelve bushels per acre, or less?
I'VE will ask you which crop raised for
FIVE years will make your lands the most
valuable?
We would ask you IL the amount of
money investf in self-binders, drills, extra
horses, etc, y ere invested in COWS, that
would produce a calf each year, in addition
to the amount figured for milk, would not
be more profitable, and afford you much
more ready money, and much easier way
of farming?
Farmers, do study the matter, and
begin dairying at once. The profit Is for
you, not only IN ready money, but the
increased value of your farms.

making, above all make fiue grade, so
